I knew someone that worked at a grocery store in college. He could never shut up about how you should avoid those pre cut fruits or vegetable dishes.
Some may argue "convenience", or "personal choice", but the reality is? It's recycled trash. They take all of the stuff that's been sitting out or around for too long, or that got bashed up in transit, or who knows what, and they slice off all the mold and clearly rotten parts, put it on a nice new tray, wrap some fresh plastic around it, mark it up, because it's "prepared" now, and away she goes. All of that just to spare you the inconvenience of having to pick it out of the trash compactor yourself.
You know damn well they're going to get tons of "lowers" and whatever else that Tweed just found out isn't presentable. They can't make extracts with it, what do you suppose they'll do? "Some of our clients, who also prefer irradiated trash, also like pre ground trash. You can't tell us what some of our clients request is wrong, just because we're feeding it to all of you".
Apparently somebody has a peanut butter like allergy to good weed in the MMPR and just because of them nobody can get near it.
Bud form, when properly cured, is known to be self protecting. We've hopefully all had the experience where you pick up a nice nug, give it a sniff...meh, big deal. Crack it open? Woooaahhh... hell yeah. So grind that up and what have you got left? Trash. But nothing is lost because it's trash in the first place.
The form of the bud, density, etc, is an indicator of quality with more significance than anything on their labels. It helps tell its story from start to finish and milling it erases all of that, leaving the clients truly dependent on the company.
Now to anybody who wants to ring the ol "some people's preference" bell, some people prefer a lot of really insane things. It's piss poor justification for them and it's just kind of strange how we never actually see these people anywhere. Where are all the nice diy milled budshots.... "look you guys... two months old, dry as a bone..no smell left.. gaaaaaaarrrghh". Nowhere.
But if that one odd man out does exist someplace, I think they can spend the fiver on a coffee grinder and mill it their own damn selves. They don't mill it to a fine enough consistency to actually prepare it for cooking anyway, so it would still be destined for a grinder.
There is simply no good reason to mill it, except to recycle trash.
